Time to get into shape or eat better?

[Brownslave688]

Seriously?


My mom invites us over for dinner. Beef roast ok not bad. Salad. Yeah I can do that. Mashed potatoes. Not terrible. And home made chocolate chip cookies probably the biggest weakness of mine.


you mom.

I had a health food / supplement store on my old route. I swear that lady was sick more than any one I ever knew back then.

I'm old. When people my age try to get in shape and lose weight the first thing people say is "is he dying of something"?.

There's some truth to that. The skin doesn't bounce back and one can look sickly.

If you lose a lot of weight eventually your skin will tighten up but takes longer when you are older.

Depends on just how old and depends on the person.


My 75 year old father in law has lost a decent amount of weight and one sister in law called another. Saying he didn't look good what's wrong blah blah blah. My wife and I live right down the road so we went to visit. A week or two later. She's like I didn't think he looked too bad. I said no you dad looks like and old person that lost some weight. The difference is he was trying to lose it. He didn't lose it because he was sickly.

Plain rice cakes i would agree. But the flavored ones aren't bad.


There's a reason this thread wasn't titled. Things that taste great and make you fat...

Rocco DeSpirito has new recipes that are super healthy, but tasty too !

Rice cake is like eating styrofoam. OK if you add something for flavor. Otherwise blah.

Just a clarification.....you brought up the 'rice cakes' making it "on topic".
Have a great week !!

Cottage cheese for snack #1. Plain Greek yogurt also makes a great snack. Add some crystal light for flavor.

A lot of non fat greek yogurt get consumed at the jones household. Ms jones likes it plain, I like vanilla mixed with some granola. Good stuff.

I can not stand the plain. Terrible aftertaste if you ask me.


My wife's trainer said no flavored yogurts. Use crystal light to flavor if needed. No idea for the reasoning.

Do they have chocolate crystal light?

 

[Brownslave688]

These are a great fix for a sweet tooth lots of flavors. 5 min in the oven or 15 seconds in the microwave and they are awesome.

Cannoli flavored?
